The girl, wearing a tactical helmet and military-style vest that can hold armored plates, ran toward deputies amid a hail of gunfire. Authorities are investigating whether she was shot by deputies or her father, or both.

Dicus did not provide further specific details in the video.On Tuesday, Dicus said during a news conference that it was possible that the teenager had fired at deputies amid the chaos, but investigators were still trying to determine if that was the case.
The sheriff also said he's consulting with the California Department of Justice to take over the investigation.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
